Relaxing ambiance
Long drive if you are from Dubai
One of the best heritage places must go in Al Ain one of the 7 emirates of the UAE. You can see a vintage structure of a building in Al Ain. The park around the Fort is really nice it is very refreshing especially in the winter season, you may see a lot of birds plus the touch of Arabian vibes of the fort. Really great place to relax.

Description:

Fortress in Al Ain

Since opening its gates in 2008, Al Jahili Fort has been a cultural the focal point of activities associated with philosophy and heritage of Abu Dhabi in the Garden City. Al Jahili is one of the largest forts in the UAE and was built in the 1890s on orders from Zayed The First as the home to members of the Al Nahyan ruling family.

Between 2007 and 2008, the fort was restored by the Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage, who transformed it into a cultural centre and tourist attraction that now houses a permanent exhibition devoted to Wilfred Thesiger, the intrepid explorer, travel writer and photographer, who crossed the Empty Quarter twice in the 1940s, and a temporary exhibition gallery. Surrounded by a lush park, this enchanting fort won the prestigious Terra Award for the best Earthen Architecture in the world in 2016.
